Beloved, hear St. Paul's solemn words to the Romans, Chapter 14 (v.12):
"So then every one of us
Shall give account of himself to God."
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, time is slipping by.
Help us to tie up the loose ends of our business. It will not be long before we turn in the record of our stewardship in these chambers of solemn responsibility to our people... and to You.
Perhaps we have not achieved all we sincerely hoped to accomplish; but thanks be to You, O Lord, for the measure of success we may have earned.
If we have fallen short at any point, forgive us; but remember, O Lord, our effort, our striving, and our straining within the limitations and restraints of our democratic processes.
Help us not to lose heart in support of any good and worthy cause, realizing that today is not the end of the game but only the end of an inning in the ball game of life.
As we return to our people, and the Journal records our words and deeds, indelibly impress upon us our continuing responsibility to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God, to whom be glory now and forever.
Amen.
